Lions brace for Bears' bolstered tight ends group in opener

Scanning the Chicago Bears' offseason moves, most of the additions were modest.

Arguably the team's most important transaction was locking up one of their own, inking safety Eddie Jackson to a lucrative long-term extension in early January.

Additionally on the defense, the team swapped out edge rushers, releasing former first-rounder Leonard Floyd in favor of an older, but more accomplished option in Robert Quinn. And the team found a new starting cornerback in the second-round of the draft, snagging Utah's Jaylon Johnson.

But unquestionably the most significant offseason adjustments for Chicago came at tight end.
